I would like find a non turbo block, rebuild and turbo it. Whats the paint in buying a turbo'd car if your just going to take out the turbo and internals and replace them anyways? Seems like throwing away another 4000 dollars or so... Just not sure if the are the same!

Different Internals
Different Brakes
Different Head -You can buy a GTE head and bolt it right onto the GE block... but because the intake and exhaust manifolds are different you have to custom mount them.
Different Injectors
Different Fuel Pump
Oil Squirters
I think ones a 6 speed and ones a 5 speed
Maybe LSD also

Thats kind of what I've scrapped together.

I think a person can buy a complete GTE Engine and swap it right onto the GE Mounts. I read there was only 1 part number for each car on the mounts. I'm not sure how the tranny/clutch/flywheel and all that would work though... a person might have to do buy that stuff along with the engine swap.

not sure what it comes out to cost wise, but I think for a new engine its around 4100, dont know what the tranny cost's...

something to think about I guess?

another option would be just getting the GTE head and pistons (the crank and rods might be the same I believe), drilling oil squirters and custom mounting the intake and exhuast manifolds... not sure what that would come out to as far as price...

either way it sounds like a lot of work...

all this info came from supraforums.com if you want to check it out for yourselfs!

This guy around in md has a orange non turboed and his best time at the track was a 14.5 at 97mph i think. It looks nice it has a real veilside kit but he hit a cat and it has bondo marks on it now but take that into consideration... My opinion is buy a turboed one. You pay more but you get a better car in general. I would rock a supra anyday though.

the only differences in the bottom end of a 2jzgte and 2jzge are the pistons.....they have the same block,same crank, same rods...........if you dont believe me go to your local auto parts store and look up anything in the bottom end for a turbo and non turbo supra.....they are the same......the pistons are different because the n/a has a higher compression then the turbo as for top end its all different.....but you can take a twin turbo headgasket,head,intake and exhaust (plus turbos) and bolt it right to the n/a block....the thicker twin turbo head gasket and the turbo head will help lower the compression and run very well on 93 oct. pump gas.........i have a 94 lexus gs300 with a full 2jzgte twin turbo swap and another 94 gs300 that im making a turbo and doing just like i just said changing the head gasket head and all ill post more info as i get it done but as of right now the head bolted right up very nicely.
